These companies are effectively high-tech plagiarism factories run by CEOs who are competing viciously. Look at their past actions. No, of course you can't!

That's next level masochism.

My concern with this analysis is that the headline "conclusions" depend on a proprietary composite index and assumptions. Where are the underlying data and methodologies for independent evaluation? I was also surprised by how litt

Be careful what you wish for.

The system works because it runs on human ambition. If people in power handed their control to an AI there wouldn't be companies and mergers anymore. It wouldn't make sense. That world could be great or it could be dystopian.

Hello to the new app store and "Nvidia model approval process".

Better headline: Developers prove they have no idea or appreciation for what a CEO does.

Unlikely, but say goodbye to uncensored and abliterated models. These acquisitions are not healthy. They stifle competition and make it easier for governments to censor open weight models by choking off distribution points.

Were you using the full model or a quantized version, and what harness/configuration were you using? It sounds like you were using a quant model.

The problem is the FDA's pathetic throughput times. It takes them decades to approve drugs. Blood tests take 1-2 years on average. It's a huge bottleneck. If they could turn these things around faster and work iteratively, it woul

As long as we make examples out of the few that exploit, it will be a-ok.

Right, it's paperwork. I get it. Horribly inefficient paperwork.

Google "how was theranos caught" to find out that an investigative journalist uncovered the fraud, and the FDA missed it.

Their doctor should be qualified to make that judgment without a government bureaucracy evaluating the efficacy of the test on their behalf, unless you want to completely destroy the rate of medical breakthroughs. If there's no potenti

Why is the FDA "clearing" something that is completely innocuous like a blood test?

The solution: 1) Set pricing tiers that do not change. 2) As models evolve, move the outdated models down the ladder, and replace the top tiers with the frontier models. 3) Give the users a warning before you do this, so they know their mod

Interesting, I only use VPNs and have never had an issue other than constant "prove that it is you" secondary authentication.

You missed the Terra Invicta "you think it's easy, but you'll be dead in 40 hours because you are underperforming" curve.

No, you are putting words in my mouth. I would gladly pay more taxes for representation that had me and my peoples' interests in mind. I'm not a libertarian idiot.

You didn't read my post objectively. My point is that the current governments, with the exception of some local governments, do not represent or serve their constituencies; in fact, they actively subvert them. I'm assuming your Eu

You are claiming infrastructure can only be maintained by a government? That's a ridiculous assertion. Most of the work is outsourced to contractors. They are acting as mediocre project managers, not the masters of inscrutable infrast

You don't really own it because of the property tax. Unless you live in Malta or a handful of other countries you are effectively renting from the state.

Yes, then we can build a company store where the slav... er, "employees" can shop and discuss how to be more productive on their projects!

Anthropic and OpenAI have proven themselves to be aspiring monopolists through their positions and actions. Why would you want to share your research with them?

by willmadden 2mo ago
"All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing." I love how they invoke fear of "terrorism" to justify their oppressive position. Anthropic would love the US to do everythin

It's more than information overload. It's an overabundance of distractions specifically designed to steal your attention. I block dark pattern sites during working hours. It helps immensely.
